More of this please F1!!!

"The 1984 Mercedes Saloon Car race at the Nürburgring was meant to be a casual affair, quite who thought it actually would be a casual affair is unclear. It seems naive to think that a race track stacked with some of the greatest Formula 1 drivers of all time, all in identical cars, would be anything other than a four-wheeled version of a bare knuckle fist fight.
The grid featured Jack Brabham, Phil Hill, Denis Hulme, James Hunt, Jacques Laffite, Niki Lauda, Carlos Reutemann, Keke Rosberg, Jody Scheckter, Manfred Schurti, Alain Prost, John Watson and newcomer Ayrton Senna, all driving identical Mercedes Benz 190E 2.3-16s. Senna took the Mercedes by the neck, squeezed every ounce of performance out of it and won the race ahead of Lauda."

During the video it says Mercedes still own this car, its in their Museum.

Here's a surprisingly high-quality video of Mike Hawthorne driving his D-Type Jaguar around the Le Mans circuit in 1956, with a period "GoPro" and microphone attached to his car so he can narrate the course. It's a pretty incredible look into the past.

Nut jobs of the very highest order, love it. Tongue

Think I'm right/close to Barry Sheene's quote when asked why he wouldn't do the Isle of Man TT "because you have to be Robin Hood to hit a safety barrier"
